"AMD has announced its support of Open GL 4.1 on Microsoft and Linux platforms in its latest driver release for a number of its graphics cards. The driver release, available on the AMD website for the ATI FirePro, ATI FireGl and AMD Radeon cards, will support OpenGL 4.1 for Microsoft's Windows 7, Vista, XP, as well as Linux."

Let's hope AMD's OpenGL support will at least become decent on most platforms. So far AMD is way behind comparing to Nvidia in regards to OpenGL.

Especially on Windows their OpenGL performance has been really lacking. I remember having read a study of several cards from different vendors and consistently ATi cards were doing 30%-40% worse than similar NVIDIA cards in OpenGL tests, whereas in DirectX their performance was a lot more level.

Though, that study was a year ago or something so I don't know if they've improved lately.
